UTM funds may be cut more than $400,000
to compensate $100M state budget shortfall

BRIAN HOLLAND

Executive Editor

V UTM has developed a plan to cope
^th a more than WOO,000 cut in
state funding expected for this fiscal
year without changing its normal
operation.

Tennessee higher education may
be asked to take a $15 million cut in
state funding to help compensate for
the $100 million shortfall (hat the
new governor and his staff have esti¬
mated to be in the current budget,

said Phil Dane, vice chancellor oT
Business and Finance. UTM’s share
would be $429,200.

“It will not affect the normal op¬
eration of things/’ Dane said. “1
would stress that any faculty searches
that arc going on are not going to be
affected by this. Travel budgets will
not be frozen or_anything like that,
andthere will be no hiring freeze, per
se.”

Dane said UTM will compensate
for the nearly 1.8 percent cut in fund¬
ing in the following ways:

• Reducing the reserve by
.$126,000.

The university tries to keep at least
2-3 percent of its total operating bud¬
get in a reserve fund for emergencies
such as a break down in cooling sys¬
tems. Dane said.

Even with the reduction. UTM
would still have 2 percent of its bud¬
get in reserves, he said,

• A nearly $50,000 savings in utili¬
ties because of the mild winter.

• A $34,000 cut in scholarships and
financial aid matches.

The rest of the funds will be com¬
pensated for by not purchasing equip¬
ment with left-over funds and by be¬
ing more conservative about hiring
new staff.

“For every position that becomes
open, we're going to look real hard
at leaving it vacant until July 1 (when
the new fiscal year begins),” Dane
said.

State officials are waiting to make
sure* their numbers are accurate be¬
fore putting the budget changes into
effect. Dane said

Black History
Month events
will continue

this weekend

\

SGA will continue to sponsor
Black History Month events this
weekend with motivational speakers,
a'historical play and a Nelson
Man del la documentary.

All students, regardless of race, are
encouraged to participate in the up¬
coming activities, said Cynthia
Alexander. SGA secretary of Minor¬
ity Affairs.

“Throughout the duration of his¬
tory. influential African-Americans
have graced us with their encourag¬
ing words, sound beliefs and tena¬
cious accomplishments.” Alexander
said. “In today’s society, it’s vital that
we understand the importance of a
positive African-American influence
in our lives.” *

.Therefore, the events throughout
Black History Month will explain the
importance of African-American his¬
tory and will continue to develop
positive self esteem, she said.

The Minority Incentive Program
will be held from 1-5 p.m. Saturday
in the UC Ballroom. Students will
need to register for the workshop
between 12:45-1 p.m., but no fee is
required.

William Smart will officially kick
off the workshop, lecturing students
on the topic “What is Your Purpose

I The Pacer Says ... I

Test-free week would
ease final exam stress

It’s two weeks before finals. You are stressed to the max because you
have two comprehensive Chemistry finals to take, and a 15-page History
paper is due.

You arc just about to pop, and then your Chem prof finally sends you
over the edge when he schedules a lest the week before finals.

"But we’re going to have a final next week!” you cry.

“Read your syllabus.’’ the prof says.

Has this happened to you
before? Well, if SGA has its way,
it will never happen again. SGA's
recent proposal to institute a grace
period the week before finals will
keep professors from giving tests
during a week when stress is
already at its highest.

The strain students are under
mainly comes from schoolwork
and their jobs outside the
classroom. The end of the semester is a bad time to increase that stress.
Things pile up and students are pulled in a million directions during those
final weeks, trying either to prepare for graduation, move to a different
dorm or off-campus apartment, change jobs or engage in other other life-
altering events that deserve their attention.

Many students can balance these pressures, and many have in the past.
But some students could do better if they were given a free week to study
and prepare for their tests, papers or projects.

Another aspect of this grace period is what some professors refer to as a
"dead period.’’ This means that if profs can’t give tests, then students
shouldn’t be given a lot of opportunities to party or attend a lot of
university-sponsored functions during the grace period. This may mean
anything from makeup-tests to school-wide parties sponsored by any
organization that is recognized by the school.

We at The Pacer don’t think the administration should make a blanket
rule that there can be no partying that week — let the students screw up
their own lives by partying when they are supposed to be studying if they
want to.

Yet, we do think that if SGA passes this measure it should be
accompanied with a decree or statement limiting university functions
during the week before finals. If it’s going to be a dead we$k, make it a
dead week.

As students, we have to lake the good with the bad. This grace period
would be a good thing. For those of us who rely on the university for our
entertainment outlet, this addition to the grace period proposal may seem
repressive.

In the end, though, students would be well-served by the grace period.

Reich not
right for U.S.
economy

Dear Editor,

"Our trade policies would wel¬
come the transfer of basic industries
to poorer nations, steering around the
grim choice between de-industrial-
ization and protection," wrote U.S.
Secretary of Labor Robert Reich in
one of his books. Exporting Ameri¬
can jobs is one way to wreck Ameri¬
can labor.

"Nor are there grounds for reduc¬
ing public expenditures and cutting
taxes in order to give the nation’s citi¬
zens more money to invest, an argu¬
ment in vogue among those with an
often quasi-religious faith in free
markets," is what he wrote in another
book. That's one way to wreck
American business. It is a clear call
for "tax and spend" liberalism.

In a nutshell, what Mrs. Clinton
wanted to do to the world’s best
health care system, is what Secretary
Reich wants to do to the world’s best
free enterprise system.

UTMpolice
should stop at
crosswalks

Dear Editor,

I am a very concerned about safety
at crosswalks here at UTM. It is a
shame and an outrage when the UTM
police do not stop for you. On the
morning of Feb. 10,1 was walking
to the UTM Children's Center and
was crossing Mt. Pelia Road at the
crosswalk between the Fine Arts
Building and Elam Center. I got half¬
way across the street when a UTM

I - police car came flying by and did not
even bother to slow down or stop for
me. He also did not have the sirens
on. The car on the other side of the
road had to slam on his brakes to
avoid hitting me because I had to stop
in the middle of the street an* le? the
police car pass.

If everyone else should have to
stop for pedestrians to cross the
street, so should the UTM police.
They should have to obey the rules
just like we do, unless, of course, they
havertheir sirens on. This incident
really upset me, and I wonder if he
would have stopped if he had hit me.

I would like to offer this bit of ad¬
vice to all UTM students: be careful
when crossing the street at cross¬
walks because it is bad when the
UTM police won’t stop for you.

Take time to
enjoy beauty
here at UTM

Dear Editor,

I spoke with a good friend over the
weekend whom I’ve not seen in a
long time. Our conversation was
mostly catching up, but one particu¬
lar piece stuck out in my mind today.
He is now in Chattanooga doing a co¬
op and has lots of free time to relax
and reflect. I had th$ opportunity to
do that as well last semester, as I com¬
pleted an internship in Texas. I wrote
poems about nature and love quotes
to my girlfriend, now fiancee. We
both agreed that there is no time for
this while going to school, since
classes, work and different organiza¬
tions take up all or most of our time.

I recently took a walk around the
campus when it was covered in snow,
just to take a break. As my ears
numbed, I remembered our conver¬
sation. Reflecting back to the day. the
week, the month that I failed to take

time to look around at our campus. I
remembered that it is indeed beauti¬
ful. So many times we walk toclass
with our heads looking doWn, and
only see our own two feet. I encour¬
age everyone to take time out to walk
and listen to the trees, the crunch of
the snow, the dripping of water or to
look at the shine of the moon through
the leaves.

Martin mustangs
has a nice ring
for new mascot

Dear Editor,

Pacer, as defined by Mr. Webster,
is a horse whose predominant gait is
the pace. A pacer is the type of horse
employed in harness racing.

Years ago. on "The Beverly Hill¬
billies," Granny ruined a good pacer
when she forced it to break its “pace."
She didn't care too much for that
flimsy^Mggy either.

That^hat. We know what a pacer
is. Now, what should be our new
mascot?

UTM is a rural university. UTM
has a proud agricultural tradition. It
would seem reasonable — to this
alumnus — to keep the horse as a
guideline in choosing a new mascot.

I have several ideas, but one keeps
coming to mind — the UTM Mus¬
tangs. The University of Tennessee
at Martin Mustangs — the Martin
Mustangs. I'll be danged if that don't
have a ring to it.

There are no "wolves" wandering
around Martin. If there are any, they
are caged. The only thing which
comes to mind when I hear
“skyhawk" is a small, underpowered
car. manufactured by GM.

Go ’Stangs!

E-mail romance really bytes

February. The Month-o-Love.
Valentine's Day was two days
ago. Hope you had a peachy time.
Now it’s past, and I can speak up
about something I’ve done a great
deal of thinking about lately.
Didn’t want to rain on anyone’s
parade, after all.

This column might piss off
some very good friends of mine; I
really hope not, but I’ve got to
say this: What’s the deal with
Internet romance? I guess I
always knew, at least intellectu¬
ally. that the potential was there
— pen pals have been getting
married for years — but not even
the marriage of someone on the
staff of UTM made me actually
sec what was going on. That’s
where my friends come into the
scene.

It seems most of my friends are
on the Internet. If people think
Lm a Net addict, some of these
people make me look like a
Sunday driver. Quite a few of my
friends use ‘‘chat lines" to meet
new and (hopefully) interesting
people. Even I. myself, am signed
on a Matchmaker list, and have
meet many cool folks.

Jimmy Buffett’s last album
included a song titled
“Everybody’s Got a Cousin in
Miami.’’ Here at UTM, it seems
everyone’s got a net pal in
Australia. One of my friends
recently set out to meet some
guys from there, and. in no time
at all. she was talking to two new
ones — or at least she was this
weekend.

You see, relationships on the
Net change much more quickly

JasonTpott

Bizarro

than in real life.
This morning’s
Net romance
might be this
afternoon's old
flame.

Love is in the
air and on the
phone fines.
There was
recently an
article in USA
Today about this
subject — Queensrychc even put a
song on its latest album about it.
People travel across the country to
meet their Net companions And.
as in pen pal romances, the magic
sometimes goes away when people
meet in person.

If some£te can be happy in a Net
romance, whb^m I to criticize? I
may begin to worry when people
who enter into Net marriages wish
to travel across the country to
consummate this "blessed event,’’
but I've never been in that situa¬
tion. I've run away from anything
that could have led me to that point.

See, long-distance relationships
and I have a past. It is a past full of
pain and sorrow... No, scratch that,

I take it back — some of the best
moments of my romantic life have
been with women I inadvertently
fell in love with while involved
with someone else far, far away.

One minute I'm getting off the
phone after my long-distance love
called me, and the next I'm kissing
someone closer.

That’s why I could never do it, at
least not with someone I hadn’t
already known in person. If I were
to fall for someone, then be

separated from her. then I might
be persuaded to try. if I thought
there was a chance of things
working out. Bui for me to fall for
a stranger, someone who might
not even be telling me her real
name? I don't think so. I know
what I've done in the past, and
I’m not about to ask someone to
live up to a standard I’ve invari¬
ably fallen short of.

"Love is a drug." to throw in
another song reference. Here’s
another; "Life is what happens
while you're busy making other
plans." An J one more, just to
prove my pop literacy: "If you
can’t be with the one you love,
honey, love the one you’re with." •
Do the math; there's a theme
there. An alcoholic will drink
beer of cheap wine if he can’t get
whiskey. A lover whose partner is
across (he country is not going to
be walled off from temptation...

Yes. it can work. No, I don.’t
think people are stupid if they sec
every flash of the cursor as a
heartbeat. In fact, I envy their
faith and devotion. If you can do
it, go for it. For me. I’ll be
looking toward people closer to
home, at least until everyone I feel
attracted to has found herself a
man over the Net. Even then I
might sit it out just to avoid the
cold facts of any long-distance
romance — even in Bizarro
World, a computer monitor can’t
hug or sit by a fireplace with me
or give a neckrub any better than a
phone or a postage stamp can

Student band Ftlix to battle in
semifinals in Jackson next week

LAURIE GIBSON

Staff Writer

Once again, the student rock band
Felix will be battling it out in the
“Battle of the Bands" as it advances
to the semifinal round of competition.

After tying for first place in one of
the competition’s six preliminary
rounds held at Tremors in Ja&son.
the band will compete against six oth¬
ers in the semifinals on Feb. 21-22.
also to be held at Tremors. Only the
top four will compete in (he final
round on March 1.

Lead singer Al Frazier said the
winners of the preliminary rounds
were voted on by the audience, and
he believes the same will be true for
the semifinals.

“It would be great if everyone
would come out and support us —
^not only to help advance us to the fi¬
nals. but to show everyone in Jack-
son that the Martin music scene is
rapidly growing," Frazier said.

If Felix makes it to the final round,
it will have the chance to win numer¬
ous prizes. The first-place winner will
receive $ 1,500. plus 12 hours of stu¬

dio time, a guitar or amplifier valued
at $400 and various other prizes. The
second-, .third- and fourth-place fin¬
ishers willpach receive acash prize.

“We’ve been in the ’Battle of the
Bands' before, but only placed sec¬
ond in one of the preliminary
rounds." Frazier said. “This is the
first lime the band has made it to the
semi-finals."

Frazier said that if they were to go
to the finals and win first place, the
money would be used to help defray
equipment repair costs and travel
expenses. The free studio time would
be used to make a new demo tape for
the band.

Felix has already been on the road
four or five times this semester.
Frazier said.

"We’ve got a couple of fraternity
parties at other schools lined up this
semester and are scheduling perfor¬
mances at Knoxville. Memphis.
Jackson, Dyersburg and even at
Florida State.”

Other band members are Derrick
Cozort, drums; Chad Thurmond, bass
guitar; and Mitch Elcan. lead guitar¬
ist.

Faculty Senate rejects course withdrawal plan

BRIAN HOLLAND

Executive Editor

UTM's withdrawal policy will re¬
main the same after Faculty Senate
voted against a proposal Tuesday that
would have eliminated (he grades
WP and WF

The original proposal allowed stu¬
dents to drop courses as late as seven
weeks into the semester and get a W
but was amended to four weeks be¬
fore being voted down.

Under the current withdrawal/drop
policy, students may drop a course
during the second through fourth
week of classes, receiving a WD
(withdrawal).

During the fifth through sevenfh
week, a student who drops a course
will receive a WP (withdrawn pass¬
ing) or a WF (withdrawn failing),
based on the instructor’s discretion.

The'Faculty Senate Instruction
Committee drafted the proposal be¬
cause there is such a difference in
impact between a WP and WF, said
Dr. Nell Gullett, associate professor
of Economics and Finance, who is
the committee chair.

“If a student receives a WP, there
is no impact except for a WP re¬
corded on transcript," she said.
“There is no impact in calculation of
GPA, and it does not count as taking
the course. A WP has no impact.”

A WF, however, has the full im¬

pact of an F when calculating GPA.
she said.

“If (two students) comptae a
course and receive a 58 average and
a 60 average, you' ve got an F and a
D — you’re able to recognize the stu¬
dent who's barely made it," she said.
“If you’re going with the WP and
WF. the student with the 60 average
receives a WP and a person with the
58 percent is getting a WF, and that’s’
a huge gap."

Some senate members, however,
expressed concern that the seven-
week grace period would allow less
serious students to waste classroom
resources when they're just going to
drop anyway, prompting an amend¬
ment that Would change the grace
period from seven weeks to four.

“Why should I have to take valu¬
able class time from (good students)
in order to put up with dead-wood
students who will just' drop if they
can’t make it," said Communications
professor Dorotha Norton. “All we’re
doing is prolonging adolescence; a
university should not prolong adoles¬
cence."

But some senate members said
four weeks would not be adequate
time for students to assess what a
class will entail.

The current withdrawal policy was
adopted in 1972. Prior to that time,
new students had two weeks to dri5p
a course and upperclassmen had

three, said Charles Harding. Chem¬
istry professor and vice president of
Faculty Senate.

^‘We found three weeks was just
not enough (for students) to find out
what they’re getting into." he said.

In other Faculty_Senate news:

• Faculty Senate lipfir^ved a rec¬
ommendation 1o prohibit regularly
scheduled athletiae ve/its during and
24 hours prior to mwris week.

The proposal was passed after be¬
ing amended to change the wording
to “regularly scheduled athletic
events" instead of just “athletic
events" to allow for potential play¬
off games or other special circum¬
stances.

• Troy Henson, dean of the School
of Engineering Technology and En¬
gineering. welcomed members of
Faculty Senate to attend any of three
open houses starting at 2 p.m. next
Thursday in the UC to learn more
about the school's effort to establish
an Engineering de'gree program.

"We really need everyone to un¬
derstand how critical this is to our
students," Henson said. “We’re pro¬
posing to terminate everything we’re
doing now and replace that with a
new degree."

' The school currently offers only an
Engineering Technology degree. Stu¬
dents pursuing an Engineering de¬
gree must transfer to complete their
degree

MICHELLE SKELTON

Staff Writer

ing bored in Martin on Friday. Feb.
24.

This is the date of the 17th annual
UTM All-Niter, featuring hypnotist
Tom DcLuca, which is presented by
Campus Rec and the Student Activi¬
ties Council.

The All-Niter will begin at 6:30,
in Elam Center. UTM students will
be admitted with an ID for SI. Ad¬
mission for the general public is $7.
No one will be admitted after mid¬

“There will be something for ev¬
eryone with more games and prizes
being offered,” said Stephanie Page,
co-chair of the SAC Entertainment
Committee.

One of the new games this year is
Jello wrestling, Page said. A pit is be¬
ing tiuilt to nil with Jello. Teams of
two will wrestle for two 30-second
rounds. Those interested should sign

friendly competition.

“If you plan to participate, you
should wear old clothes," Page said.

‘Towels and showers will be pro¬
vided afterwards."

* Other games include Sumo Bellies.
Participants wear huge, padded suits
and wrestle with one another.

For the Bungee Run, the partici¬
pant is tied to a bungee cord, pulls
back as far as possible and is snapped
forward like a rubber band.

The Velcro Wall offers the partici¬
pant the chance to wear a velcro suit
and to stick against the wall.

Aiiother game is (he Bouncing
Box, in which participants wear
huge, padded boxing gloves and box
in a padded ring.

And for someone who has always
dreamed about dancing and singing
on stage, Fun Flicks will give indi¬
viduals the opportunity to make their
own personal videos.

In addition, there will be other nov¬
elty games and carnival rides.

In Chariot Races, a team member
will be carried on a sheet by other
team members.

Other team games include Scooter
Basketball. Blindfold Volleyball and
a Ping Pong Tournament.

Page said she encourages people
to come in groups to participate in
team games.

There will be entertainment on
stage throughout the night. Some of
these include Cafe'' House perfor¬
mances, an Aerobic Club demo,
country line dancing, a Best Legs
Contest and a performance by the
Black Student Association's choir,

Highest Praises.

The Tom DeLuca show begins at
12:30 and will feature comedy, magic
and hypnotism.

After the show there will be a bal¬
loon drop, with prizes inside the bal¬
loons, and a pizza eating contest.

Prizes will be given away through- HANGING IN THERE — A UTM student defies the physical prop¬

Nijima Junior College sends 102 students to UTM

More than 100 Japanese students
from the Nijima Gakuen Women’s
Junior College will be learning about
cooking, crafts and Southern history
as part of their three-week visit to
UTM, which began with their arrival
Tuesday.

The students, all English majors,
will take 26 hours of English classes
and 10 hours of elective classes in
cooking, crafts, drama and Southern
history.

They will also attend special
classes in basketball, culminating in
a tournament; visit churches; make a
trip to Middle Tennessee and have
home stays with .area families.

Nijima Gakuen Junior College is
located in Takasaki, Japan, a city of
350.000 people about an hour north
of Tokyo. The school opened in 1983
and has been sending students to
UTM every year since.

In the first year of the program, 20
students came to UTM. This year.

102 students and five group leaders
arc coming, which is the most ever.

The relationship between UTM
and the junior college came about
when one of the college's founders,
Takao Ota, asked Dr. John Eisterhold,
dean of International Programs, to
help develop an international com¬
ponent, including teacher/student ex¬
changes and joint research projects.

“We share'a common dream,”
Eisterhold said. "We want to promote
friendship and real international un¬
derstanding. They’ll see what Ameri¬
can people are really like. They will
be more broad-minded and sophisti¬
cated.”

While there may be an economic
rivalry between Japan and America.
Eisterhold said, on the human level,
both peoples have the same dreams
and aspirations, but probably express
those ideas differently.

"It helps the students be more com¬
petitive in the work place in Japan,”

Eisterhold said. “All of them know
quite a bit of English, but they reluc¬
tantly speak it.

“We try to create situations where
they have to use English, but that’s
not the bottom line.”

Students will divide into classes of
12-13 for intensive English lessons
that make up the 26 hours they’ll take
while at UTM.

"This will get them ready for home
slays and trips to New York. San
Francisco and Orlando before they
have to return to Japan. We want
them to see Tennessee culture, as
well," Eisterhold said.

To experience Southern culture,
the students will take classes in Ten¬
nessee folk crafts and history. They’ll

visit antique shops and make a trip
to Fort Done! son in Nashville.

"They’U visit homes and mansions
to explain how Southerners live."
Eisterhold said.

Home slays arc one of the high
points for the students. Eisterhold
said. They’ll spend the weekend of
Feb. 25 with families in Martin and
the surrounding area.

As a part of the Big Sister program,
102 UTM co-eds have volunteered
to spend time with the Nijima stu¬
dents. They'll go to basketball games
together and go to classes with them.

"It’s interesting to see the friend¬
ships formed in a short three weeks
despite the language barrier,”
Eisterhold said.

UTM dropped ttf4-18 on the sea¬
son and 2-9 in OVC play, and will
host Austin Peay Stale in a rdmatch
tonight at Elam Center. TipofT is set
for 7:30.

The contest featured both clubs
•booting relentlessly from the field
as UTM gained an edge in the first
half, shooting 50 percent from the
field on 14-of-28 attempts.

The Pacers were also hot behind
the three-point line, connecting for
an impressive 6-of-ll attempts for
54 percent

UTM maintained its lead over
Tennessee Stale much of the first
half behind Michael Hart, the team's
leading scorer, who was unstop¬
pable early on in the paint. Hart,
along with DeMarko Wright and
DeWayne “Pooh" Powell, finished
the contest with 19 points each as
the Pacers led by as many as eight
points in the first half.

TSU hung in the game behind

good defense and a great shooting
performance from forward Calvin
Morris, who led the Tigers in scor¬
ing with a team-high 19 points.

But the Pacers, who shot a hot
90 percent from the free throw line
on 9-of-10 attempts in the first half,
led TSU, 43-40, at the break.

In the second half UTM shot just
30 percent from the field. TSU
capitalized, despite shooting just 48
percent from the field, and regained
the lead midway through the sec¬
ond half.

TSU converted 5-of-16 three-
[jointers in the second half behind
guard Tim Horton, who scored 17
points.

Forward Damon Page also came
through for coach Frankie Allen’s
club with 15. *

Center B. J. Nelson was the only
player off the UTM bench to score,
as he contributed six points.

Each of UTM’s five starters
scored, but only three captured
double figures.

UTM’s 8-of-10 free throws in
the second half wasn’t enough to
overcome Tennessee State's hot
shooting.

Five TSU players scored in
doubled figures for the conference-
leading Tigers.

Coley's lineup.

Hicks led UTM in rebounding as
she grabbed a career-high seven re¬
bounds for the game.

TSU kept its poise and hung
around late, but UTM. behind late
free throws, held on to grab the vic¬
tory.

The Lady Pacers converted 21-of-
29 free throws and shot 72 percent
for the game.

Latessa Hickerson scored 12 points
for Tennessee State, and Stejana
Holder scored 10. as four Lady Ti¬
gers scored in double figures.

Womens' track team wins again at MTSU

ANDRE* JOHNSON

Sports Editor

The young and talented UTM
women's track and field team con¬
tinued to perform well indoors as two
freshman stars set records in the
Middle Tennessee State Double Dual
last Saturday evening at
Murfreesboro.

Freshmen Dorothy Denko of
Knoxville and LaVica Covington of
Memphis each set records and placed
an impressive sixth place in the fi¬
nal.

Denko. a native of Poland, set a
record in the 3,000-meter run with a
mark of 10:48 at MTSU.

Covington, a former Memphis East
High star, set a record in the 55-meter
hurdles with a time of 9.90 seconds
at MTSU.

Former Texas Tech coach Brenda
Webb, who is in her second season
as the UTM women’s track coach,
said she was thrilled with her team's
performance following Saturday's
events.

"This was really a good meet for
us because some of our women made
it into the finals,” Webb said. "We
haven’t had the recruiting year that
some other schools have had. but we
are doing well for a young team.’’

Former Rice University All-
American Yvette Haynes also per¬

formed well. Haynes, who is the as¬
sistant coach, as well as a member of
the women's track squad, won the
triple jump event as she finished with
a mark of 39-9. Haynes is a native of
St. Vincent in the Virgin Islands, and
was selected to represent her coun¬
try in the 1996 Summer Olympics in
Atlanta.

"Yvette (Haynes) is doing an out¬
standing job with the women, and she
is really working hard jn preparing
the team for their meets,” Webb said.

Other Lady Pacers who contA
uted to UTM’s impressive perfoP
mance were Kiva Taylor and
Roshanda Johnson.

Taylor, a former Memphis
Hamilton standout, finished fifth in

the indoor triple jump. Johnson, a
Memphis East product, placed sev¬
enth in the triple jump.

Freshman LaQuesha Brown, who
has set two school records this sea¬
son, suffered a cramp in the 55-meter
run just before she reached the finish
line.

Brown Was in running in second
place in the event at the time of her
injury.

Webb said she expects Brown’s
best performances to come during the
outdoor season.

The Lady Pacer track team will try
to set more records as it travels to
Carbondale, 111., to take part in the
Southern Illinois Invitational Satur¬
day afternoon.
